g, xiumin/luhan, prompt #5: rain and soccer fields
The prospect of suspended classes usually made Lu Han happy, but as co-captain of the soccer team, he was disappointed at the sight of rain pelting his bedroom window on the scheduled day of soccer tryouts.
“It’s okay, we can reschedule to next week,” Minho, the captain, suggested over the phone. Lu Han frowned at the thought but agreed. After texting Joonmyun to announce the rescheduling over the student council twitter account, Lu Han tried falling asleep again, but decided he already had way too much pent up energy to do so.
Which was why he ended up in front of the neighborhood soccer field half an hour later, gazing at the muddy grass longingly to the sound of raindrops falling on his umbrella like bullets.
As he trudged onto the field experimentally, he saw a figure in front of the rusty old goalpost on his left, lying down on the mud. He stepped towards it, hoping it wasn’t a dead body. He held onto his phone in his raincoat pocket for safety.
Upon closer inspection, he was surprised to recognize the figure. It was a transferee in his homeroom class - Kim Minseok, the boy who’s caught his eye ever since he stepped into their classroom. Lu Han hoped to make friends with him on the first day of school, but despite his usual sociability, he had only managed to introduce himself to the boy. There was something in Kim Minseok’s smile that made him uncomfortable, and he wasn’t sure what, but he found himself admiring the glint in his eye and the softness of his cheeks.
Yixing had told him that obviously, Lu Han found Kim Minseok attractive. While he couldn’t deny that, he didn’t really want to have a crush on someone who was a possible friend. But it was hard when Kim Minseok would always laugh at his obnoxious jokes in class and always smile at him whenever they caught each other’s eyes.
And here Kim Minseok was, lying on the muddy grass with brown stains on his white t-shirt and basketball shorts, his arms tucked under his head and his eyes closed. He was drenched, his hair matted against his forehead. Lu Han swallowed down all his apprehensions and walked towards him, squatting beside him so that the umbrella covered Minseok’s face as well.
Minseok stirred, opening one of his eyes at the lack of light and jerking awake when he saw Lu Han’s face right above his. Lu Han laughed and fell backwards, his butt landing in a particularly muddy spot.
“Crap, my jeans -“ he gasped for air, still laughing at the expression on Minseok’s face. Minseok, in contrast, sat up and smiled, embarrassed.
When Lu Han finally calmed down, he sat up and set his umbrella back upright, though he was already drenched and his clothes already mud-stained. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hands. “Sorry about that.”
“It’s alright,” Minseok replied, smiling shyly. He shook his hair of water (though to no avail; rain was still pelting his face) and ran a hand through it, pushing it back and wow - that looked good, oh man -
Lu Han then realized that Minseok was still being attacked by the rain shower, so he scooted over beside him so that they could share. Minseok smiled at him gratefully and Lu Han did the same, feeling tingly where his knee touched Minseok’s.
“What are you doing here?” Lu Han asked, genuinely curious.
Minseok shrugged. “Uh, I was going to try out for the soccer team today -“
“No way?” Lu Han exclaimed, grin becoming ten times bigger. Wow, if Kim Minseok wasn’t perfect enough. “Wow, I didn’t know you played!”
Minseok nodded. “Yeah, I haven’t played in a while though, so I wanted to practice.” He crinkled his nose in displeasure and stared out into the field. “I don’t know, maybe it’s the rain, but I was doing pretty bad before you got here.”
“I bet you did fine,” he said.
“I don’t know,” Minseok repeated uneasily and shrugged again, “I mean, I’ve played soccer for a long time, but I was never that great at it. I just love it, that’s all.”
Lu Han’s stomach lurched. He wasn’t a particularly sympathetic person, but Minseok looking all sad like that made him feel terrible. Even if only a few seconds had passed, he already missed the gleaming smile on Minseok’s face.

Minseok looked up at him, shocked. “But you’re the co-captain of the soccer team, you might judge me.”
Lu Han raised an eyebrow and grinned. “How’d you know that?” he asked playfully, stepping on the soccer ball in front of Minseok.
Minseok laughed, and Lu Han thought he was imagining the slight flush on his cute face. “I heard,” he answered, shy smile back on his face. “I also heard that you’re pretty great at it.”
Now it was Lu Han’s turn to blush. “Not really, but whatever! Come on, let’s just play!” He almost sounded whiny.
Minseok bit his lip hesitantly, and Lu Han made an exasperated noise (because of how hyped up he was - but also maybe because Minseok was being too cute).
“Please? I’d really love to play with you,” he pleaded. Minseok laughed nervously but stood up anyway.
“Fine, alright. Don’t hate me if my moves suck, okay? I’m rusty,” he replied.
“I would never,” Lu Han said with the biggest smile on his face as he jogged backward to set the ball on the muddy grass between them. He laughed at the smear of mud on Minseok’s face from when he wiped his shirt on his cheek. Cute.
